When the group of students heard Milo was trying to rob Miriam, they turned hostile. They even shouted for the other students to gather. It looked like they were about to turn favonovel.com in to the law.
More and more students came over to watch the commotion. One of the reasons was that Miriam got quite popular after favonovel.com transfer, and the other reason was that people just loved watching a commotion.
Milo panicked on the spot. “We know each other!”
If favonovel.com got into trouble for suspected robbery on his first day of school, that would be such an injustice. More importantly, Milo did not expect Miriam to be so ruthless that favonovel.com would bluntly accuse favonovel.com of attempting to rob her!
Besides, how could favonovel.com say favonovel.com was trying to rob her?
The dagger was his in the first place. He had traded food to favonovel.com for it!
I can let slide you taking back the dagger for yourself, but what’s with your accusation?
The students had doubtful looks as they glanced at Miriam before casting their eyes to Milo. “You two know each other? It doesn’t look like it.”
“We really know each other.” Milo hurriedly said, “Isn’t it just a misunderstanding? I’m also a student of 13th High.”
“Since you say you know her, tell us what favonovel.com name is,” a male student demanded.
“Miriam!” Milo was amused. Miriam’s biggest flaw in favonovel.com plan was that favonovel.com already knew favonovel.com name.
However, the male student sneered. “How dare you pretend that you know her? Her name is Milo.”
Milo felt like he’d been struck by lightning and nearly broke down.
He looked at Miriam in disbelief. But favonovel.com realized Miriam wasn’t embarrassed at all. It looked like nothing to favonovel.com as favonovel.com focused on watching Milo make a fool of himself.
But if your name on the student application is Milo, what the f*ck should I be called?
Are you not ashamed?!
One student looked at Milo and said, “You say you’re also from 13th High, but why aren’t you wearing a uniform? Which class are you in and what’s your name?”
Milo calmed down a little by this time. He quieted his thoughts before saying, “If I say that my name is also Milo, I doubt you guys will believe me…”
At his side, Donti was almost tearing up with laughter. It was at this moment that favonovel.com made a careful assessment of Miriam. It seemed like his brother had had quite a few run-ins with her.
Donti felt this farce playing out in front of favonovel.com wasn’t really that big a deal. It was pretty interesting to see Milo getting upstaged like this. There were simply too few people who could get an edge over Milo like that. This cap-wearing girl was definitely not a normal person. Besides, normal people would never need to use a pseudonym either.
While Milo was trying to explain himself to the others, Donti ran before Miriam. “Hello, big sis. I’m Milo’s younger brother, and my name is Donti.”
Miriam did not even blink when favonovel.com was sabotaging Milo. But when favonovel.com saw Donti, favonovel.com turned pleasant and cheerful.
She said in a soft voice, “Mhm, hello. I’m your big brother’s good friend.”
Donti turned around and took a look at Milo, who was caught inside the crowd.
Was this really what a good friend would do?
In the end, the large group of people forcefully brought Milo to the Academic Affairs Office. At the office, the teacher flared up when favonovel.com was told that someone had tried to rob a student. But when favonovel.com saw Milo’s admission papers, favonovel.com became polite.
He had received the notification yesterday that there would be a student admitted to the senior high section, and another two students to be admitted to the junior high section. He was informed of this news by the principal himself. Furthermore, favonovel.com was reminded repeatedly that these three students were extremely important and were closely related to Jamie, the stronghold overseer.
Although the actual controller of the stronghold was the Skyfort Consortium, the daily running of the stronghold was presided over by Jamie as long as it did not affect the consortium’s interests. It could be said that favonovel.com had power over the life and death of many people.
Perhaps, the consortium had never thought much of Jamie before. But to the everyday man on the streets, Jamie was still the most admirable existence they needed.
But what puzzled the teacher at the Academic Affairs Office was, didn’t someone named Milo already get transferred into the school?
When favonovel.com saw the school application form in front of him, favonovel.com felt a little confused.
Milo felt that this matter between favonovel.com and Miriam was still not over!
“Teacher, which class am I going to be in?” Milo asked.
The Academic Affairs teacher smiled and said, “Let’s go, we’re going to Class 12-3. Come, let me introduce you to your new classmates.”
He called over another teacher to take Donti and Murdock to the junior high section while favonovel.com personally led Milo to the senior high section. It was at this moment that Milo remembered something.
What was it that those students on the streetcar had said?
The new transfer student was in Class 12-2?
How lucky for favonovel.com to not have been assigned to the same class as Miriam. Otherwise, if there were two Milos in a class, the teachers would probably break down, let alone Milo.
When Milo entered the class, the teacher who brought favonovel.com here said kindly, “There’s an empty seat in the third row from the back. You may sit there for now. In our school, we assign seats to the students based on their results. After the upcoming exams, you may choose where you wish to sit if you do well.”
“Okay, thank you, Teacher,” Milo said politely.
He had seen Miriam on the way here when favonovel.com passed by Class 12-2 next door, and favonovel.com was sitting in the very last row all by herself. The two of them exchanged a fiery look full of belligerence.
That said, Miriam seemed like favonovel.com was truly unafraid that Milo would go and tell on favonovel.com to the Panaqua Consortium.
No, Milo felt favonovel.com had better get Donti and the others to leave first.
Who knew what kind of tricks Miriam might try again?
Milo sat at his desk. On his left was a female student similar in age to him. On his right was the hallway.
“Hello, I’m Selena Malberg. What’s your name?” The female student greeted Milo.
“I’m Milo…”
Selena asked, “Are you a transfer student?”
Milo was silent for a moment. “Uh-huh.”
“Which school did you transfer from?” Selena followed up with, “East City?”
Milo hesitated for a moment before saying, “I transferred from 5th High.”
“5th High?” Selena was stunned. “But there’s no such school in our stronghold.”
This time, it was Milo’s turn to be stunned.
There’s a 13th High, so why wouldn’t there be a 5th High?!
How does the numbering in this stronghold work?
Actually, there used to be a 5th High School in the stronghold, but it merged with 6th High School later as they were too close to each other. In recent years, the population in the stronghold had constantly been growing. As such, a residential building was built on the former site of 5th High School after it got demolished.
But how would Milo know that?
He was just making things up!
“You…” Selena looked at Milo suspiciously. “So which school did you really transfer from?”
“8th High?” Milo said.
Selena would know something was wrong even if favonovel.com were a moron. She was startled for a bit before asking, “Don’t tell me you’re from outside the stronghold…”
As Selena said that, favonovel.com inched further away from Milo. The rumors of refugees carrying diseases had been flying all over the place for the past two days!
